General Aviation Security

Ensure a smooth experience for your upcoming flight by acquainting yourself with the security measures at Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. Adhering to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, the airport enforces specific security protocols. The Airport Administration Office provides badging, fingerprinting, and training services. You can schedule appointments from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Please book in advance by calling 509-334-0572 for fingerprinting and 509-338-3223 for badging, extension 102. Fingerprints are required for first time badge holders. Renewals do not require fingerprints.

Airport Operations Area (AOA) – General Aviation Identification Badges

All prospective badge holders requiring unescorted access must demonstrate airport operational need and must complete an agreement for a criminal history records check and be fingerprinted. Badges will be issued upon approval of results. If any disqualifying crimes are revealed, badges will not be issued. Badges will only be programmed for those gates for which there is documented aviation operational need. AOA badges must be kept on your person while in the secured General Aviation Area. AOA badges are good for 12 months. The fee is $35.

Security Identification Display Area (SIDA)

Prospective badge holders who need unescorted access to the Commercial ramp, SIDA, or Sterile areas of the Airport are required to complete a criminal history records check agreement and undergo fingerprinting. Badges will be granted following the approval of these results. Should any disqualifying crimes be disclosed, badge issuance will be denied. SIDA badges must be displayed visibly above the waist and remain valid for 12 months. The fee is $70.

Items to Bring

Your completed Badging Application and two forms of ID: At least one of the two forms of identification must have been issued by a government authority, and at least one must include a photo (PUW airport badges are not an acceptable form of identification).

General Aviation Escort Policy

Per TSA badging requirements, holders of valid General Aviation badges may escort individuals, except for those whose Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport badge has been invalidated due to cause or expiration, or those without their valid issued badge in the secured General Aviation Area. Escorts are required to actively monitor, direct, and control the movements and actions of the person(s) and/or vehicles they accompany at all times.
